Description:
This is a lesson plan that would work in either World History or Geography. It focuses on the oil distribution in Asia but could be used to analyze other areas. I think that this is an important resource as it demonstrates how economics can be taught within the content areas. It is a role-playing activity that provides students with the opportunity to learn about economics with various learning styles.
Description:
PBS is a wonderful resource for teaching social studies. This particular link provides excellent sources for economics with the option of choosing interactive lessons, online lessons, or offline lessons. The lessons have clear instructions and provide you with the national standards.
Description:
This is an excellent lesson idea for teaching students the difference between the various economic systems throughout the world. It could be used early the freshman year to introduce students to the different systems. It could also be used in the Government unit on economic systems as review. It also has a wonderful comparative chart that can be downloaded for use. We could use this chart to compare other countries to bring the lesson to higher levels on Bloom’s.
